And e0y... if you're going to not watch anything medieval-ish with swords because you think that automatically makes it like LOTR, then that's your loss. Because that's where the similarities between the two begin and end.

e0's just being obtuse. He's actually watching and enjoying the show, but won't admit it. Which is fine.

Now SHE is a strong female role. I don't see how they could pull that off without her. From what I've read though, the 3rd book will be split up into 2 seasons, with season 3 ending with the RW and then the rest in season 4.

How can you have an episode be titled "What is dead can never die" and not even show the real Ironborn "baptism?"

They fucking drown and revive each other! It's the defining nature of the Ironborn. What is dead can never die.... because they've already "died." Just don't see the point in changing it up, all you have to do is dunk Theon's head underwater instead of pouring water on him.

Yeah, I was pissed they didn't do that too. How hard would it have been to stick it in there.

Oh, and at Winterfell as well.

That kid that plays Joffrey is good. He's creating one of the most hateable characters ever. How many times do you hope a kid gets set on fire so you could point and laugh?

He does do a good job of acting like the kind of kid that makes bullying seem like a noble profession (assuming Joffrey was at the receiving end of it).

Also an excellent job from the girl playing Arya, who evidently had no real acting experience when she started last year...she's been great in her scenes so far, and especially so in the last episode with her dealings with Tyrin and the strange ninja who likes talking like an NBA player (in the third person).

But Tyrion still makes this show. That, and all the boobiage...just sad we haven't seen Danys yet this season.

The House of the Undying. A lot of what Dany sees there is very very very very very important, yet it's even somewhat confusing if you're reading it, let alone non-readers seeing it on TV. I mean they HAVE to show the blue flower on a wall of ice, etc. It's essential.

It'll be interesting to see how they handle the whole Book 4/Book 5 debacle with the missing characters and the 3,000 pages of minor characters wandering around doing absolutely nothing. (yes, Book 4 PISSED ME OFF)

My guess is they'll combine the books and turn it into 2 seasons. And probably take more liberties than they did with the first 3 books to add some excitement, especially when it comes to Dany, because her chapters in book 5 are incredibly skippable. Not a ton happens in either book until the end.

Ugh. I know. I've read the first 100 pages of Book 4 twice now. Can't seem to get any momentum.

No. I was expecting as such going into it, knowing what they'd cover that episode. But ya never know when they might sneak some in for the hell of it.

I'm not sure if the next episode will have any either. I'm trying to think of what there may be. Although the rating explanation for it does say Nudity. I'm thinking it might just be people in Qarth.

Well the women of Qarth ARE supposed to have one breast exposed according to their fashion customs. Kind of bummed that was changed buy the Directors and not sure why really.

Yeah, when we're supposed to get nudity, they don't do it. When there's no nudity remotely written in, there's a guy and girl going to town while some other guy watches them while getting a BJ while another guy watches them watch the others.

I want to bash his face in with a large rock. Osha would be a lot hotter if she didn't have mustaches for eyebrows. The Hound was awesome, dude annihilates people. That whole mob scene was really cool. Tyrion slapping Joffery around made me smile.

IMO, this show doesn't really have down episodes, the story is so solid.

They're looking for all the wildlings, the "Free Folk." They've figured out that all of them have gathered under Mance Rayder "King Above the Wall" and deduce that they plan to march on the Wall and try and attack the Seven Kingdoms. So the Night's Watch are trying to stop them before it gets that far.
